Marching orders
The menu at Sarge's Deli - I've had my eye on an eating challenge recently added to their menu - the Monster sandwich, billed as "New York's Largest Sandwich".
As of a few weeks ago, no one person had successfully eaten an entire Monster - so I started training by ordering 2 of their combo sandwiches, eating a pastrami/corned beef combo for lunch, and a turkey/roast beef combo for dinner - figuring that the Monster would be roughly equal to two combo sandwiches put together...
Working in my benefit was the fact that there was NO time limit on the challenge, unlike many of the food challenges seen on Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" - so all I'd have to do would be to eat my fill, then sit at the table until I felt hungry again.
Simple, right? I mean, the deli's open 24 hours, so with no time limit, this would be a cakewalk, a slam-dunk.
